First Church of Wenham

The Challenge

The First Church of Wenham, built in 1644, is a picturesque white steepled
building overlooking the village green. Atop sits a tower bell which is a
community landmark.

In 2011, Presto was among one of the few companies that were called upon
to bid on the painting of this historic site. Our expertise in historical
building renovations led to us being awarded the project.

Our Solution

In April of 2012, the stripping down to the bare wood of the right side of the
church had begun. Presto used the Silent Paint remover method to strip the paint;
a timely procedure with beautiful results.

This project was one of our more difficult projects to work due to the fact that
we had to be extra careful of the parishioners that would visit to make sure their
beloved church was well taken care of.

After the removal of the old white paint layers was completed, it was amazing to
see this old church stripped down to bare wood. It was even more amazing after the
primer was applied. The parishioners were amazed on how beautiful their church looked.
Before we had the chance to complete the right side of the church, we were asked to
start on the front side.

The church members were so thrilled to see how beautiful the church looked that
they had us return in 2013 to strip and paint the other sides. The remainder of the
church; which is the steeple, will be completed in the summer of 2014.
